Reviews

“I think this game is really, really awesome... This is one of those games that is much more than meets the eye.”
Splattercat

“You need to listen to me right now... This could be in the game of the year conversation for me. - Gnomes is the BEST Tower Defense Roguelike of 2025”
A+ – Olexa

“Gnomes is one of those games that is just clever, and if there’s any justice in the world it will have a similar trajectory ahead of it that Vampire Survivors did. It’s immediately accessible, both devilishly challenging and rewarding, and almost impossible to put down.”
90/100 – Digitally Downloaded

About This Game

Defend Your Garden From the Goblin Horde

Use your gnomes to defend your crops from the goblins on a map that expands every day. On your turn, position your gnomes, prepare your defenses and grow your economy. Test your strategy against endless, procedurally generated encounters and survive long enough to face the goblin king.

Every run in Gnomes is created one of a kind and using a carefully crafted combination of bespoke content and procedurally generated elements. Purchase randomly dealt upgrades and create strategic combinations to unlock your build’s potential. As you progress you gain access to more maps and guilds, each with unique gameplay and challenges.

Features:

  • Turn Based Tower Defense

On your turn, you can move your gnomes as often as you like. Use different combinations of relics and plant abilities to help them survive the night.

  • Relics, Crops and Upgrades

Each plant, relic, tool and building creates a different possible synergies. Manipulate your environment an and exploit the resources the map provides you. Grow your economy quickly, but don’t forget to defend it.

  • Diverse Procedurally-Generated Biomes

Distinct biomes with procedurally generated environment, map specific enemies, different hazards and resources. Every run is different.

  • Guilds with Unique Starts

Each guild stars a different type of gnome accompanied by their own starting economy and a game changing relic. Every guild has different strengths and weaknesses. Some will struggle where others thrive.

  • Endless Mode

Test your strategy against randomized waves of enemies that become exponentially more difficult every night. After you defeat the goblin king for the first time, you're given the option to continue your run until the goblins overwhelm you. How many nights can you survive?
